It must have helped greatly to have Felos on the Hospice board at the time Terri was admitted, when was that, THREE years ago?

Hospice has broken its own rules to admit Terri to their compassionate (in most cases) death chamber.

Their rules on their own website, HospiceFoundations.org, states that they only accept TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS, in the last stages, and at that, all means of rehabilitation and cure must have been exhausted. Terri fits NEITHER PARAMETER.

They are open for a lawsuit.

And to boot, THREE YEARS of isolation, no TV, no doctoring unless agreed to by Michael, no attention, no stimulation (per Michaels direct orders) were given.

No comfort for terri. Michael must have DEEPLY wanted her to die, alone and hurting having given up the will to live.

Terri fooled him and angered him.

So much that Michael has taken to punishing the parents by disallowing visits off and on, and just lately, DIDN't EVEN BOTHER TO TELL THEM HE WAS MOVING HER FROM THE HOSPITAL TO THE HOSPICE...is that NOT THE HEIGHT OF CRUELTY????

I don't understand all the connections between the lendermans, the greers the schiavos and the felos character etc with this hospice, the Woodside Hospice in Pinellas cty, but I do know one thing...this HOSPICE has a LOT of QUESTIONS to answer for and they deserve a few well placed phone calls.

IMO, there are too many big players involved. An outside organization is needed to get an independent investigation done. I think a lot of people would rather "just not know"

Add to that mix, Republic, that Terri is now on Medicaid, a Federal program, whose regulations state that Federal money cannot be used for assisted suicide, euthanasia, or mercy killing, and as a patient in Hospice care, she must be given every opportunity for rehab. Seems to me she's now under FEDERAL PROTECTION.

FReeper attorneys ... where do we stand with this?
